Vintage earrings, Mexican sterling silver, screw-back buy circles or half-spheres, Rocha, Cuernavaca, 1940s marked 925 pre-eagle, full moon
These vintage Mexican sterling silver earrings are two big half-spheres signed.
These vintage Mexican sterling silver earrings are two big half-spheres, signed by silversmith Rocha from the city of Cuernavaca.
The earrings were probably made in the 1940s, and are each stamped with "Hecho en Mexico, 925, Rocha, Cuernavaca, Sterling." ("925" refers to the silver composition, 92.5%).
One earring is in nice shape, while the other has a few significant dents and marks. The screw backs turn smoothly and easily on both. Be sure to zoom in on each photo to see the details buy and condition.
I have done no restoration or repair, but I did polish these just so you can see the dents and marks more easily. Otherwise, these are just as I found them. You can keep them polished and shiny or let them tarnish again to a nice patina.
I love wearing old Mexican silver jewelry; it seems to go with everything, elegant or casual. Add these sleek and modern-looking earrings to your collection!
